device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to

Airplane Mode.

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where

blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such

as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or

chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such

areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable

materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs

and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

8

Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or

gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of

radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in

progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,

clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical

transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,

such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with

handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-

free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of

a building).

• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do

not contain any metal.

• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your

local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is

forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your

device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your

physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in

these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

9

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event

of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the

customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-

use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for

satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is

recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the

antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas

may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and

SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance

with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone

performance and ensure human

exposure to RF energy is within the

guidelines set forth in the relevant

standards, always use your device

only in its normal-use position.

Contact with the antenna area

may impair call quality and cause

your device to operate at a higher

power level than needed. Avoiding

contact with the antenna area

when the phone is IN USE optimizes

the antenna performance and the

battery life.
